Goal: 3D System Design

Status of Use Document: Early Draft

Phase(s): Construction

Objective:

[ _ ] Reduce material waste through reuse design
[ _ ] Increase constructability of a complex building system
[ _ ] Decrease language barriers and increase safety concerns

Description:

A process in which 3D System Design Software is utilized to design and analyze the construction of a complex building system (i.e. form work, glazing, tie-backs, etc.) in order to increase planning.

Potential Benefits:

• decrease language barriers between superintendent and crew
• increase construction productivity
• increase safety awareness of a complex building system
